Explore Europe Your Way: How to Live the Ultimate Van Life Adventure with CarTurf
Introduction
Dreaming of winding mountain roads, sun-soaked Mediterranean coasts, and medieval villages—all on your own schedule? Van life in Europe is the ultimate way to explore the continent on your terms. But for non-EU travelers, turning that dream into reality can be complicated. That’s where CarTurf steps in.
In this post, we’ll show you how to live the van life across Europe—legally, comfortably, and with complete freedom—by using CarTurf to purchase and register your RV, campervan, or motorhome.

Why Van Life in Europe Is the Ultimate Freedom
Van life offers a rare blend of mobility, independence, and immersion. From the fjords of Norway to the vineyards of France, you can wake up in a new country as often as you please. Plus, Europe’s network of motorhome stops (stellplätze), scenic camping spots, and well-paved roads makes it ideal for long-term overland travel.

The Big Barrier: Registering an RV Without a European Address
Most travelers are shocked to find that you can’t legally register a vehicle in Europe unless you have a local address. Without this, buying and using your own RV is nearly impossible.
That’s the problem CarTurf solves.
